Snow in Portland

Wow, what a surprise for us today. It snowed. So, of course me wanting pictures of it for this fabulous blog for all of our friends and family to see, made everyone get outside. It was a brisk 20 degrees, perfect picture weather, so I thought. Poor Bentley had to get out there. Jaden wasn't all too impressed, but she braved it. Even Nana and Poppa McDaniel got in on the action.

Updated Santa 2008

I am pleased to present the updated version of the picture with Santa. I realize most of you were upset in seeing our princess cry, I do apologize. I showed up at work this week and this one was in my box. Enjoy.

Santa 2008

Well this year with Santa did not turn out so well as you can see. My work hosts a Day with Santa, complete with a present for the kids, lunch (grilled cheese), pinata and a bounce house. Poor Jaden did not like Santa but she did enjoy opening her present, the Christmas tree and the bounce house.

I know, its sad to look at, but had to put it on. She got over it quickly when she got her present.

Doesnt she look all grown up?

The giant cookies helped her overcome the trauma as well.

Bounce house with Nana Nancy.

In the end, she got her candy from the snowman pinata, and all was well.
